Galaxy, 'Quakes set to renew California rivalrySoccer Betting Lines08/20/2010 - Santa Clara, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes renew their California rivalry when the two Major League Soccer clubs meet at Buck Shaw Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Galaxy (13-3-4) are riding high after recording their first shutout in over a month last weekend at Red Bull New York, a 1-0 win. Now the league's top team is hoping its mid-season doldrums are behind it as it prepares for the stretch run and MLS Cup playoffs. "[The result at New York] was important because I think for a few weeks now we haven't played to our capabilities and we wanted to get back on form," L.A. midfielder Chris Birchall told mlssoccer.com. "We had some heavy defeats, Chicago, even though we got back into the game, it was a hazy 20 minutes where we conceded three and Puerto Rico at home. We knew we could play, and when we play like that as a team, and everyone is on form, we're a very good team." Now, the Galaxy hit the road against a team it struggled to earn a 2-2 draw with at The Home Depot Center on July 22. "San Jose gave us a tough game here a few weeks ago and we didn't play too well, but we managed to score in the last minute and salvage a point," Birchall said. "But like I said, we can only take confidence away from the win in New York. You've just got to go with confidence and try and concrete a place in the playoffs." The Earthquakes (7-6-5) are also coming off a 1-0 victory vs. Kansas City this past weekend. The team is currently in the thick of the playoff race, but needs to collect as many points as it can over its final 12 games to ensure a spot in the second season. The club made news this week when it announced the signing of designated player Geovanni. The Brazilian midfielder won't be available this weekend, but is expected to make his MLS debut Aug. 28 at New York. "He's one of those players that you think, 'man, we're not going to be able to get this one, but what a player,'" Kansas City General Manager John Doyle told mlssoccer.com about the acquisition. "His ability to help us in this playoff run, that's what makes me excited. I think everyone from our players to our front office to our fans should be excited that we were able to get a player of this caliber." Two down notes for the 'Quakes is they will be without goalkeeper Joe Cannon - who had surgery this week to repair a broken ankle - and defender Jason Hernandez, who received a red card last weekend vs. Kansas City. "It was foolish on my part because I [was] the captain and I set the example, but its just kind of the heat of the moment kind of thing," Hernandez said of his red card. "It's what happens in games all over the world and, unfortunately, I let it get the better of me. But maybe its a lesson learned."

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet). For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win. TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures. Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
